DB Streckenagent
When you're travelling on local transport services in Bavaria (or further afield), DB's line agent app is your faithful companion. It doesn't just keep you informed about disruptions, but it also tells you the best alternative route to your destination.
News via push notificationSign up for as many connections as you want the app to monitor for you. Once a disruption or delay is reported, the app immediately lets you know if it affects your journey. Route-specific incident notificationIn addition to supplying you with the latest updates about delays and disruptions, our transport management team will also proactively inform you about route-related problems and construction work throughout Bavaria's local transport network long before you embark on your journey and this news is incorporated into service announcements.Alternative travel optionsWhen you receive push notifications about disruptions, the line agent app will also suggest alternatives for onward travel and connections using a host of different public transport options.Station informationThe app also lets you search for information you need about a specific train station, such as transport links, arrival and departure times, a map of the surrounding area, etc. If your onward journey is with a rail replacement service, handy directions will inform you how to get to the temporary stops set up for the relevant service at Bavarian stations.We hope you enjoy this new travel planning assistant, and we wish you a pleasant journey!

The redesign removed like half the features. You can't see where the train is right now and how much it's late for all the stations along it's route anymore. You used to be able to just click on a train an it would show it's entire route. Click on a station and previously it showed departures and arrivals. The alerts are now the only reason to use this app over something like transportr which is at least open source and works with a huge number of public transport networks around the world.
This app used to be great until the recent update. It might have a more modern design now but functionality is worse. The font size in my opinion is ridiculously large, you can't get details for your journeys from the alarm screen and while you are traveling. Prior departure it shows some details on the start screen but it doesn't show the trains and busses complete trips. It's also no longer possible to view all arrivals and departures for a specific station. This update ruined everything!
The update destroyed everything. It removed core functionality in favor of better looks. Why replicate DB Navigator functionality and remove the existing functions? Thanks to this my workflow is hindered and I using the app is more painful and less useful. I just wish there was an option to revert the app the its previois version. Also, the bug from the beta with constant "Network Unavailable" at the bottom still exists.... It feels like the beta testers were ignored...
Please remove the map review, make it optional! Old app version had much better information at a glance. Live data is not visible.. many things missing.. new design is ok, but not with such a loss of functionality.
New version deleted all my route shortcuts and doesn't let me set up a frequent route anymore without a time attached. This is a huge step backwards. Bring the old version back!
It's great this exists, but it wastes a lot of space and has no settings to hide UI elements you never need. Also it can't display times remaining until departure for routes, just for station timetables. The new version 2.2.9 (59) tints the Android Lollipop status bar white, so you can no longer see the current time or signal strength, because the text stays white too. It's getting worse :(
the new app design is the worst, it removed many Funktions for a bigger font, maps and graphics, as well it removed all the bookmarks
😠Wasting screen space again, this time with ads. Seriously? You are tax funded! Outdated: Thanks for making the app more comfortable again with small screens. In general pretty efficient to use, if you have a handful of connections you're relying on regularly.
Completly useless. I've setup up multiple alerts for my daily connections but i only get notifications when i manually check the connection. I need notifications BEFORE I get to the train station without having to check manually.
In short: the alerts don't work! I get to the train... see it is 10mins delayed.... Check app (wondering why it didn't tell me 30 mins ago)..... App suddenly sends me the alert! Have had issues where website was more up to date about delay times! (Making this app irrelevant!)
new design improvements speeding up the process of accessing data immensely. great first step in making this app actually usable. lightweight, fast boot, quick to respond compared to the previous sloth-version.
Very useful app as nearly every day there is something not scheduled on the way to work. The STOP FOR TODAY function shall be divided into STOP before noon and stop afternoon or similar. Once arrived to work it is good to mute but needed again for the way back.
The information is extremely detailed and full, but is often ambiguous or self-contradictory, both in German and the English translation.
This app is amazing!!! Finally a GOOD and intuitive app for German public transportation! It's just got everything you want and also it's a really fast app, very slick with great features. Thanks so much for developing it!
Almost completely useless. This is the second time my train gets cancelled and I don't get the notification or get it when I'm already at the station. DB was zum... ist bei euch los?
For quick normal check of schedule works really good, as i always check same route everyday would love that it remembers it and show it without me actively click on search
last update ruined everything. Please stop this madness and put back the last version
Train schedules are not always aligned with reality Also an option to have the app in English would be great!!
Es wird langsam besser Its getting better slowly Information is still slow to come Need to get it out faster and provide options for those who di not have Smartphones
It used to be great, but they did big design revamp and lost lot of original functionality
Don't waste your time on it, it's completely useless and crappy. I'm not why someone would make such an app. It never shows any delay(s)
Good start, really glad I can use it to find routes as a tourist. When is it going start selling tickets?
Before any movement I check the time tabe so, it gives me accurate departure times to avoid waiting at stations
When a train is too late or cancelled it will be showed much too late. For example I need to know how to get to work IN TIME ... not too late. That my train was too late will be shown when I am at work already ☹☹
very helpful, delays are shown in a more reliable manner than in the internet
5star cos it just has a decent layout, doesnt lag and it is just usefull. I use it everysingle day
Quite a good app but could be better ie change bus but doesn't tell me where the second bus stop
great...but why only limit the time of the alarm to 2 hours? 5 stars if this limit didnt exist.
Never once received a push notification about delays.
Sorry, but with the design a lot of really useful features were removed. The app isn't as useful as before the update... Outdated: Great App! I would like to see one improvement: the option to configure trips to your liking. I want to be able to manually set the stops and way to move between them. For example: after a stop I could walk to my destination (10min) or wait for a bus and drive there (15min). I would like to be able to change the trip that I can walk certain parts.
